  1. I guess that means... on Twitter To Get Even Harsher On Trolls (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    no more twitter messages from The Donald.

  2. Re:In other words on Roller Coasters Could Help People Pass Kidney Stones, Says Study (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I could see this working. I've had them 3 separate times. First two passed after....riding in a car down a bumpy road on the way to the hospital. Not comfortable, but they passed. Third time it was too big. Needed surgery. The stent they shoved up there was almost as painful, particularly when they yanked it out a few days later! My dick looked like a candle with the stent's little string poking out (had to yank it out some way!)

  3. Well, here in Texas, it doesn't matter what make of car you drive. 90% of the time turn signals (or courtesy lights) don't get used. And if you do use them to change lanes, the person in the other lane speeds up to block you.

  4. No flame. I just spelled it incorrectly. I have little things that bug me too.... like "irregardless".

  5. How about the RT info telling the computer that the light is about to go red, and have it break automatically?

  6. Re:138 years ago? on Human Limbs Evolved From Shark Fins Thanks To Sonic Hedgehog Gene (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    You know, a couple of commas would have made that much easier,,,

    "The new discovery backs up a theory, suggested 138 years ago, that legs and arms evolved from prehistoric fish gills."

    See?

  7. Re:Model 500 on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Dumb Phone? · · Score: 1

    Don't call it dumb. Maybe it just made some bad investments, and it's retirement fund is gone, so it needs to still work. At 55 I've got similar issues.

  8. Don't believe what you read.... on Japan To Build 250-Mile-Long, Four Storey-High Wall To Stop Tsunamis · · Score: 1

    The wall is actually to keep out the Diakiaju! Run Godzilla!

  15. Re:Kids Guess Default Password "123456" on Kids With Operators Manual Alert Bank Officials: "We Hacked Your ATM" · · Score: 2

    We're talking Canada. Password was probably "hockey".

    The decoy was built by the creatures in the next bush over. Three poison arrow frogs behind a blind, aiming at the spider coming up behind the decoy.

  17. Re:"I dont think so, Mr. Powers..." on Judge Suggests Apple, Motorola Should Play Nice · · Score: 1

    This is Slashdot - everything Apple is evil...

    Wait, I thought it was "everything Microsoft is evil", or have I picked that up wrong?

    Actually it seems to be "everything not-LINUX is evil". I was going to say "everything that the non-Technical consumer likes is evil", but I'm not sure that fits in the Microsoft case. Maybe "only the perceived underdog is not evil"?

  18. Re:Apple's weakness is in the office suite on Google's Quickoffice Purchase Takes Aim At Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Microsoft.

  19. Re:Secure information much? on Europe's Largest IT Company To Ban Internal Email · · Score: 1

  20. Re:Shipping share vs. market share on Android Catching Up In the Tablet Market · · Score: 1

    A flat 10 sales is "quite smooth". Still means nothing.

  21. Duped workers? on Fake Apple Stores Mushrooming In China · · Score: 1

    The interesting thing I read was that the workers of the fake stores thought that they were actually Apple employees. That calls into question their "Genius Bar".

  22. Had to come up with some way...... on Bill Gates Looks to Reinvent the Toilet · · Score: 1

    to get rid of that piece of crap Vista.

  23. Re:Only one problem on Vint Cerf Says Fix the Net With More Pipe · · Score: 1

    Couldn't you fix the "rental" model so that the video is available for X number of days past download. DirecTV OnDemand does this now (with the DVR). I can re-watch the movie for (I think) 5 days after "purchase". The old DIVX had self-destruct of the contents back in the 90's didn't it? (or was that the 80's) And let's face it, nothing is going to stop the pirates anyway.

    >> speedo swimsuits, Have you ever been to a European beach? I think we could have done without these.

  25. Re:Walled garden on Amazon Challenges Apple With Mac App Store · · Score: 1

    Despite not owning any Apple products, I could imagine them pushing a silent update to all devices that simply blocks the site in question. Or starting to sign their software cryptographically, and making sure their systems only accept valid signatures. Or any other way, actually...

    That would be one way to start a myriad of lawsuits. Apple, or any other hardware/software manufacturer, can not start blocking sites willy-nilly. It would be considered a free-speech violation most likely, but particularly, in this case, anti-competitive. The Feds would be on them in a second. And talk about the bad PR. Even for iOS products, while they may make it very difficult to get 'non-Apple approved' software on the devices, there are jail-breaking methods available. I think Apple may always keep a back-door open like that, to get around any future anti-competitive, or anti-free market claims.
